Penza Perfect!

July 25, 2007

I am getting ready to leave Penza after a wonderful stay with my very good friends, Konstantin and Svetlana Ulanov. They have taken care of all my needs and are wonderful companions to discuss anything and everything about life in Russia. Right now I am typing in K's office (he is the principal of Lyceum #29) and we are preparing to return to his flat, pack, and board the night train back to Moscow. Tomorrow morning, I will fly back to New York and meet my lovely wife at JFK. Sometimes in Penza, it seems like I am in the United States. Things have changed a bit in three years.....for the better! More on the Penza visit after I return to the states! Many thanks to K and S for their warmth and hospitality this week!
